James. 4 Posted January 21, 2013 Hmmm.... both disgusting and beautiful at the same time, modern and vintage. I don't actually mind the way it looks, just don't ask me how to tell the time! From Hodinkee http://www.hodinkee....ween-mbf-urwerk Hands-On With The C3H5N309 "Nitro": Live Photos Of The Experimental Project Between MB&F + Urwerk We spent today (Sunday) cruising the booths of the Geneva Time Exhibition, and while we're going to show you a bunch of stuff from there, we thought we'd show you something you've surely never seen in the metal before - the C3H5N3O9 Experiment ZR012 - or "Nitro". If you don't know what we're talking about, view our original post here. If you do, click on to see live photos of one of the only Nitros to have left the assembly line so far, a watch we happened to see on the wrist of a friend today. This thing is absolutely insane, but if there is one thing this watch does, it absolutely makes a case for articulated lugs. The giant case size is quickly brought back down to size by these hinged wings. Take a look at what we mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James. 4 Posted January 21, 2013 I think the top pointer points to magnetic north, the second one to the nearest open convenience store. Go there, ask the clerk what the time is, he should have an readable watch on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
